1 Claim. (Cl. 211-166) This invention relates to new and useful improvements in display fixtures for garments for use in store and window displays.

More particularly, the present invention proposes the construction of an improved adjustable display fixture for garments which can be made in chrome, plastic or any other such material and which will attractively and conveniently display ladies one and two-piece dresses, boys and mens suits, ladies lingerie and all ready-to-wear one or two-piece garments.

As a further object, the present invention proposes forming the adjustable display fixture for garments with a stand and with one or more loop members for flatly hanging garments such as trousers and with one or more hanger members for hanging garments such as coats, dresses and the like.

Still further, the present invention proposes arranging the hanger and loop members so that two pieces of a garment or two garments will hang neatly and correctly on a hanger member and a loop member.

The present invention further proposes constructing the hanger and loop members with adjustable extension means so that a number of difierent garments or sets of two-piece garments may be hung on a single stand pole.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claim in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawings forming a material part of this disclosure:

Fig. l is a perspective front view of an adjustable display fixture for garments constructed and arranged in accordance with the present invention.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1 but showing the pole removed from the stand.

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary view similar to Fig. 2 but illustrating a modification of the present invention.

Fig. 5 is an enlarged sectional view taken on line 5-5 of Fig. 4.

Fig. 6 is an enlarged sectional view taken on line 6-6 of Fig. 4.

The adjustable display fixture for garments, in accordance with the first form of the invention illustrated in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, has a two-piece stand 15 having a base 16 with an upright tubular portion 17 and a separate removable upright pole 18.

The tubular portion 17 of base 16 has a bore 19 adapted slidably and rotatably to receive the pole 18. Adjacent the open upper end 21) or the tubular portion 17, a set screw 21 extends through the tubular portion 17 into the bore 19 to bear against the pole 18 and secure it in any desired position in the tubular portion 17 of base'16.

Pole 18 has a lower end 22 adapted to fit into the bore 19 of tubular portion 17 of base 16 and a knob 23 is ice provided at its upper end, either fixed as shown or removable (not shown). i

A loop member 24 and a hanger member 25 are provided to be horizontally disposed and slidably and pivz'otally mounted on the pole 18.

Loop member 24 has an upper bar 26 and a lower bar 27, the upper bar and lower bar being inclined with relation to one another in the vertical plane so that the upper bar 26 will be disposed adjacent the pole 18 and the lower bar 27 will be spaced more remotely from the pole.

In addition, loop member 24 has a sleeve 28 adapted slidably to encircle the pole 18 and a set screw 29 removably extends through the ring portion 28 to bear against the pole 18 to secure the ring portion and the loop member in any desired position on the pole. An angle shank portion 30 extends from the ring portion 28 to the upper bar 26 to space the upper and lower bars 26 and 27 away from the pole 18 and below the sleeve 28.

Hanger member 25 likewise has a sleeve 31 adapted slidably to encircle the pole 18 and a set screw 32 extends through ring portion 31 to hold it to the pole in any desired position thereon. An angle shank portion 33 connects the ring portion 31 of hanger member 25 with a horizontally disposed bar 34 adapted to receive shoulder hanging garments such as coats, blouses, dresses and the like.

It is apparent that the upper arms 35 and 36 of the angle shank portions 30 and 33, respectively, of the loop and hanger members 24 and 25 may be made any length desired and that by making a plurality of such members with upper arms of varying lengths a number of such members may be accommodated on one pole 18 so that a number of garments or sets of two-piece garments may be displayed on one pole or stand.

The modification of the present invention illustrated in Figs. 4, 5 and 6 is characterized by the provision of a stand 40 having a hollow upright tubular portion 41 adapted slidably to receive a pole 42 on which is adjustably and slidably and pivotally secured a plurality of adjustable and extendible hanger members 43 and a plurality of loop members 44.

Pole 42 is held in the tubular portion 41 by a set screw 45 and the hanger and loop members 43 and 44 are held to the pole by set screws 46 and 47 extending through sleeve bearing members 48 and 49, respectively, of the hanger and loop members. Loop members 44 have angle shank portions 50 extending from ring portions 49 and upper and lower bars 51 and 52.

Hanger members 43 each has a horizontally disposed bar 53 and an angle shank portion 55 with an upper arm 56. The upper arm 56 has a key 57 at its end 58 and this key slidably fits in a keyway 59 in a bore 60 of a cylinder 61. Cylinder 61 telescopes into a larger tubular cylinder 62 having a bore 63 and a keyway 64 in which slidably fits a key 65 fixed to the inner end 66 of cylinder 61. The cylinder 62 extends from the ring portion 48 of the hanger member 43.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent An adjustable display fixture for garments comprising a stand having a base and an upright pole, a transversely disposed elongated loop member slidably and pivotally secured to said pole, in spaced relationthereto and disposed at an angle to the vertical and a plurality of transversely disposed adjustable hanger members slidably, pivotally and removably secured to the pole and spaced from said loop member, each hanger member including a sleeve bearing member encircling said pole, means for adjustably securing said sleeve bearing member on the pole, at socketed cylindrical portion extending later-ally of said sleeve bearing member, said socketed portion having a keyway therein, an angular shank slidably and adjustably connected, to said socketed portion, said shank having a key on one end slidably engaged in the keyway in the socketed portion, and a bar secured to the other end of the shank and disposed transversely of the pole.
